Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 454 of 2011).

These Regulations amend the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 in relation with exempted development provisions of those Regulations. The list of those provisions has been updated and amended. New planning exemptions are being introduced in respect of portable waste disposal compactors, agricultural rainwater harvesting, etc. The exempted development threshold for drainage of wetlands is being reduced. Some other land reclamation activities (removal of field boundaries, etc.) are being exempted from the planning system as they will be subject to a new consent system under the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
